I know that everyone out there is following my dental adventure with great interest. Well today was appointment number 2 and because there was still some pain in the tooth they put in more medicine and replaced the temporary filling. I had to wait about 1 hour for this appointment and the Dentist apologized to me. She said next week just to tell her that I'm there and she will see me first. I say part two because this is stretching out to 4-5 appointments. They gave me some medicine to help with the pain and to clean any infection. Darn internet! Now every time I receive medicine I check out the drug and see what it is for and this time was no different. As far as I can tell it has little to do with infections but I guess I'll have to trust my dentist. Now you may notice the photo above with the endless sea of people. And you are probably wondering if there was a sale, a line for train tickets, or some kind of free give away. If that's what you were thinking then you have never been to a Chinese Hospital Pharmacy. There were hundreds of people pushing their way to the front of the lines and it was organized chaos. The chaos part is clear but the organized part well it took only about five minutes to line up and get my medicine. Total cost for this trip. 7 yuan to register, nothing to see the dentist, 6 yuan for the medicine, and finally 9 yuan for the taxi home.
TOTAL- 22 yuan or $4 This may not be overly pleasant but at least it is not expensive.
See you next week.
